Need new handset for Panasonic KX-TG2257 cordless phone
Howdy;
The subject line pretty much says it all: The handset for my Panasonic KX-TG2257 2.4GHz cordless phone got left out in the rain and needs to be replaced. The keypad lights up, so the battery seems OK, but the rest of the handset is totally inert. The base is fine. Are there any inexpensive sources of replacement handsets for this sort of thing? I see that a whole new phone can be purchased for less than $100, but if I can just replace the handset, I will go that route. I'm guessing that it isn't as simple as just buying a new handset, though, because it has to match up the base as far as it's communication frequencies are concerned. If it's more trouble than it's worth, then I won't bother. Advice, parts sources, etc. would all be appreciated. Thanks, Joe Brower Venice, FL email: |

Call Panasonic directly for the authorized dealer near to you. I think they
are going to tell you to replace the complete phone. In many of their models the handset is matched to the base with security software. You will have to ask them about that. In the booklet that came with the phone, and sometimes on the bottom of the base unit there should be an 800 or 888 number of where to call for this type of information. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Joe Brower" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Jerry. I just contacted a couple of places and they all said the
same thing: seperate handsets are not available. Oh well! - Joe B. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry G."
